Strength Vs Hypertrophy

While STRENGTH AND HYPERTROPHY might SEEM similar, you can change your training style to target different goals.

Which Is Better?

Neither strength nor hypertrophy is better, as both are necessary to improve your health and fitness. However, most people will benefit from doing one first.

Does Hypertrophy Make You Stronger?

Hypertrophy focuses on building muscle size. A bigger muscle always has the potential to be a stronger muscle. So yes, hypertrophy training will make you stronger to a certain extent.

Does Strength Matter For Hypertrophy?

On that same token, strength training will also build muscular size to an extent. Getting stronger requires you to teach your nervous system to recruit more motor units at any given time.
